A sample of Carbon-14 originally contained 100 g. After three half-lives have
passed, how much Carbon-14 is left?
Answer:
After 3 half lives 12.5 g of C-14 left
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of C-14 = 100 g
After 3 half lives mass left = ?
Solution:
At time zero = 100 g
At first half life = 100 g/2 = 50 g
At second half life = 50 g/ 2 = 25 g
At third half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5 g
Thus, after 3 half lives 12.5 g of C-14 left.
In other cases, researchers use natural experiments in which the dependent variable (typically a measure of organism health) is measured under differing contexts that are not manipulated. Say, for example, that an accidental chemical spill contaminates five ponds. To determine the possible effects of the toxic chemical on frogs, a researcher could compare the hatching rate of frog eggs laid in those five ponds to the hatching rate of eggs laid in five uncontaminated ponds nearby. This would be an example of a natural experiment because concentrations of the toxic chemical in the ponds were not controlled by the experimenter, but rather resulted from the chemical spill.
Drag type of experiment on the left to the example of experiment on the right.
A. Natural
B. Manipulative
1. ______: Blood concentrations of BPA in college students are compared to their recent consumption of canned food items
2. _____: The feeding behavior of fish in streams that receive acidic runoff from strip mines is compared to the feeding behavior of fish in unaffected streams.
3. _____: The deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields is compared to the deformity rate in birds from nests in unsprayed fields.
4 ______: Tumor development is compared in mice exposed to five dosages of a known carcinogen in the laboratory.
5. ______: Foraging activity levels are compared in tadpoles exposed to four concentrations of toxic metals in the laboratory.
6. ______: Growth of corn plants is compared in field plots sprayed with three different dosage:s of weed killer 7.
7. ______: BPA concentrations in the urine of people with diabetes are compared to BPA concentrations in the urine of people without diabetes
Answer:
1. Natural
2. Natural
3. Manipulative
4. Manipulative
5. Manipulative
6. Manipulative
7. Natural
Explanation:
1. Checking the blood concentration of BPA in college students in relation to their recent consumption of canned food items is a natural experiment because BPA concentration in blood is not artificially controlled by any means.
2. Comparing the feeding behavior of fish in streams with acidic runoff to that of fish in an unaffected stream is a natural experiment due to the fact that the acidity of the stream is not artificially controlled in any way by the experimenter.
3. Checking the deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields and that from unsprayed fields would require some manipulations except a sprayed and unsprayed one already existed long before the experiment was given birth to. Otherwise, the sprayed field might need to be artificially created just for the purpose of the experiment.
4. A known carcinogen would need to be administered to a group of the mice. This is manipulative.
5. The tadpoles would need to be artificially exposed to the toxic metals in the laboratory. Manipulative
6. The spraying would need to be carried out artificially in order for the comparison to be made. Manipulative
7. People with diabetes cannot be artificially created. They must have existed naturally long before the experimental design. Natural

Explanation:
Create an example in which a mutation entered the gene pool and due to predator pressure. Becomes predominate. For example, think about how the color of the Peppered moths during the industrial revolution changed. The moths were light in color, but due to all the pollution from industry the trees they lived on turned dark making the light moths an easy target for birds. The moths with the mutation for dark color were able to blend with the darker bark and survived. These dark colored moths passed their genes on to their offspring and over a relatively short period of time most of the moths became dark. When the pollution decreased, the lighter colored moths predominated once again.
*Write a paragraph or so it can be a little under. Ill give you brainiest.*
Answer:
The population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases.
Explanation:
During the industrial revolution, the population of light colour Peppered moths decreases and dark Peppered moths increases because due to industrial revolution, air pollution increases which spreads a black dust on the trees and as a result the light colour Peppered moths can easily be seen in the dark by its predator and feed on them while dark colour Peppered moths can't be seen in the dark so the predator is unable to feed and as a result the population of dark colour Peppered moths increases.

how does increasing the size of the habitat affect carrying? explain your answer. recall the scenarios: 0-15 years, little land; 15-30 tears, moderate land;30-45 years, ample land
plzzz helpp
I meant years not tears
Answer:
so basically carrying capacity is "the amount of organisms a specific environment can support", so if the environment is increased, most likely, more space and food will be available, which means the environment can hold more organisms, causing the carrying capacity to increase
Explanation:
what I just said lol
Answer:
Increasing the habitat size will increase the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the maximum amount of organisms a habitat and its resources can carry. So if the habitat expands and more resources become available, the population would expand. As you can see for the first 15 years, when it was the little land, there was only about () rabbits, but as the land grew throughout the years, the rabbit population grew. 15-30 years with moderate land had around () rabbits, and the ample land in years 30-45 had around () rabbits, a little over two times the amount the little land had.
Explanation:
just fill in the ()s with the numbers that show on the graph. This is kinda late but hopefully it'll help anyone who needs it.
Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. What are the main differences between these two processes, and what types of daughter cells produced by each? Meiosis has four cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has two cell divisions and results in two identical daughter cells. Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in gametes to increase genetic variation in daughter cells, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair. Mitosis produces genetic variation in daughter cells and increases the number of chromosomes, while meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair.
Answer:
Meiosis has two cell divisions and results in four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation, while mitosis has one cell division and results in two identical daughter cells.
The main differences would be that Meiosis has 4 cell divisions and Mitosis had 2 cell divisions. Meiosis results in 4 haploid daughter cells and Mitosis results in 2 identical daughter cells.
Another big difference between the two could be that Meiosis produces genetic variation in the daughter cells and increases the number of chromosomes whilst Meiosis occurs in body cells for growth and repair. Each process has a different job.

Explanation:
the number of consumer can never exceed the number of producer in nature why
Answer:
The number of consumer can never exceed the number of producer in nature because there is a limited amount of producer in the nature so the consumers is the one who eats a producer !
When the number of consumers increases, producers disappear due to overconsumption and consumers disappear due to lack of food and the ecosystem is destroyed. Therefore, in nature the number of consumers can never exceed the number of producers.
What are Producers and Consumers?Producers are plants that make their own food, the energy they need to grow, reproduce, and survive. They are making their own food which makes them special. These are the only living things on Earth that can make their own source of food energy with the help of sunlight, water and air.
Consumers make up the upper trophic level. Unlike producers, they cannot make their own food. They obtain their food by eating plants or other animals, while some eat both.
Scientists distinguish between several types of consumers. Primary consumers form the second trophic level.
Thus, when the number of consumers increases, producers disappear due to overconsumption and consumers disappear due to lack of food and the ecosystem is destroyed. Therefore, in nature the number of consumers can never exceed the number of producers.

Which chemical is released by (2) WBC's that produces a non-specific inflammatory response?
Answer:
cytokines
Explanation:
Non-specific immune responses are integral to host cellular defense mechanisms. It is a general response, mediated by white blood cells, where cells rapidly react to pathogenic infiltration.
Here receptors on cells recognise molecules shared by a broad spectrum of pathogens, or even react to signals from damaged, injured or stressed cells like inflammatory cytokines in a cytokine storm.
After basketball practice, Tyler began feeling a sharp pain in his knee. He visited the doctor and found out that he had torn one of the many ligaments in his knee. Which of the following best describes the function of the ligament he injured?Immersive Reader
(1 Point)
A. Connecting cartilage to muscles
B. Cushioning the ends of bones
C. Connecting bones to other bones
D. Connecting muscles to bone
Answer:
C. Connecting bones to other bones
Explanation:
Ligament is one of the connective tissues in living systems whose primary function is to connect bones to other bones. Ligaments are made up of a short band of tough fibre making it adapted to that connective function.
In this question involving Tyler who is diagnosed to have torn one of his knee ligaments, it means he has torn one of the many connective tissues that connects his bones to another bone in the knee.
During an experiment to determine if people with more symmetrical body features have a lower incidence of disease, a researcher first measures the length of several bones in the subject's hands and arms. The device used to measure length does not display a readout of the measurement taken. Instead, a wire connects the measuring device to a computer that records the data. The computer monitor is kept out of sight of the subject and the researcher. Why is such an elaborate device used?a. So that the subject will not know if he or she is part of the control group.b. So that the experiment will be repeatable.c. So that the subject will not be injured by the experiment.d. So that the identity of the subject will remain anonymous.e. So that the measurements are not biased by the researcher.
Answer:
e
Explanation:
The main reason such an elaborate device was used would be to eliminate any element of bias by the researcher.
It is important to eliminate biases when taking measurements so as to ensure the accuracy of the data and the overall outcome of the experiment. If a simpler device had been used in which the researcher manually records the length of the bones, it is possible to knowingly or unknowingly introduce biases or random error into the experiment which will impact the integrity of the data and the outcome of the experiment.
The correct option is e.
There are two species of squirrel in the United Kingdom: red squirrels and gray squirrels.

Answer:
The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK
The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK.
What is emigration?Emigration is the act of relocating away from a resident country or place of residence (to permanently leave a country). Contrarily, immigration refers to the flow of individuals from one country into another (to permanently move to a country).
A migrant leaves their home nation and moves to their adopted one. Emigration and immigration thus both describe migration, but from the perspectives of various nations.
Demographers look at the push and pull factors that cause people to be drawn to one place and pushed away from another. Desires to escape unfavorable situations, such as scarcity of land or employment opportunities, or unfair treatment, are possible.
Therefore, The grey squirrel has increased their rate of emigration to the UK.
